The cellular effects of PM2.5 collected in Chinese Taiyuan and Guangzhou and their associations with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nitro-PAHs and hydroxy-PAHs
TLDR
In this paper, the effects of region and season-dependent differences of PM2.5 on cytotoxicity, and the contributions of PAHs, nitro-PAHs (N-PAHLs) and hydroxy-PAHSs (OH-PAHRs) to PM2., were examined by determining different toxicological indicators in three lung cell lines.About:

Cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of particulate matter from the open burning of pruning wastes
Estela D. Vicente,Daniela Figueiredo,Cátia Gonçalves,Ana Vicente,Isabel Lopes,Helena Oliveira,Célia Alves +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter below 10 µm (PM10) released from the burning of pruning residues common in Portugal and other countries of the Mediterranean region.

Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution
C. Arden Pope,Richard T. Burnett,Michael J. Thun,Eugenia E. Calle,Daniel Krewski,Kazuhiko Ito,George D. Thurston +6 more
TL;DR: Fine particulate and sulfur oxide--related pollution were associated with all-cause, lung cancer, and cardiopulmonary mortality and long-term exposure to combustion-related fine particulate air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for cardiopULmonary and lung cancer mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution and health.
TL;DR: The evidence for adverse effects on health of selected air pollutants is discussed, and it is unclear whether a threshold concentration exists for particulate matter and ozone below which no effect on health is likely.

TL;DR: The carcinogenicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is associated with the complexity of the molecule, and with metabolic activation to reactive diol epoxide intermediates and their subsequent covalent binding to critical targets in DNA.

TL;DR: The meta-analyses showed a statistically significant association between risk for lung cancer and PM10 and PM2·5, and no association between lungcancer and nitrogen oxides concentration or traffic intensity on the nearest street.

Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) in China at a city level
Yan-Lin Zhang,Fang Cao +1 more
TL;DR: It is found only 25 out of 190 cities could meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards of China, and the population-weighted mean of PM2.5 in Chinese cities are 61 μg/m3, ~3 times as high as global population- Weighted mean, highlighting a high health risk.
